In this sixth video in our audio-for-video series, AB gives us a simple introduction to post-production, highlighting the different steps of treating your audio once you’re finished shooting your video. From naming your files correctly to thinking about your final output levels, this video will give you a general sense of the common practices used to get your audio sounding just right. Check it out!

Watch B&H’s AB as he takes to Central Park to demonstrate Sennheiser’s AMBEO SMART HEADSET. You’ll see him wearing the dual-purpose earphones/binaural-recording headset, which captures stereophonic 3D audio fit for use in immersive entertainment content. Whether it’s VR, experimental podcasting, or recording an acapella band with lifelike you-are-there placement, this headset will handle the job. You’ll hear this immediately, as we at B&H were fortunate enough to catch the talented Cover Story doo-wopping their way into glorious harmony. The microphones themselves capture high-quality audio, to be sure, but that’s only part of the picture. With preamps, conversion, and soft-limiting brought to you by Apogee, the AMBEO SMART HEADSET is truly the smart choice.

Join B&H’s Rob Rives as he shows off two new Lectrosonics transmitters: The SMWB and the SMDWB. The only difference between these two transmitters is the battery capacity, with the SMDWB providing room for an additional AA battery to increase your operating time. Watch as Rives demonstrates the switchable output power of these units, as well as their ability to record audio in situations where transmitting sound is impossible.

Join B&H’s Rob Rives as he takes to the financial district to test out the DPA’s d:vice 2-channel interface, which connects microphones to mobile devices and USB ports, allowing you to record clear, crystalline audio on location. Hear its low-noise preamps and high-quality A/D converters in action, as Greg Johnson plays a ragtime tune on a piano near a fountain. This instrument, placed in New York City by the Sing for Hope Organization, has been miked in stereo, and sports a clear, articulate sound—even in the midst of this bustling New York City location. Come for the d:vice, stay for the excellent music, available in the public domain, and played wonderfully in a public domain.

In this video, Rob Rives demonstrates the RØDElink Newsshooter Kit, which utilizes an RX-Cam wireless receiver in conjunction with a TX-XLR wireless transmitter, thus allowing you the option of using handheld XLR microphones in a roaming, wireless fashion. Rives shows off its power abilities, gain-reduction switches, and line-of sight range. With Rives positioned far away from the camera, you’ll be able to see—and more importantly, hear—how this kit works. We hope you enjoy the video, and invite you to view the wide selection of other instructional and informative videos at BandH.com.

In the following video, Rob Rives, from B&H, demonstrates how to mike talent using lavalier microphones. Rives explores the reasons for using a lavalier over a boom microphone, the actual placement of the lavalier, and how to deal with issues of clothing noise. We also showcase alternate locations for mounting lavaliers, and provide some solutions for frequency attenuation that occurs when lavaliers are hidden, as opposed to being exposed.
